House with a view
A case has brought Hank to a strange house, he doesn't even know exactly where he is, as he slept in Ben's car the whole way.
He wanders around, mostly to escape the commotion of a bloody homicide, and ends up in the basement, which has a direct view of the water. He rolls his eyes at the extravagance, wondering how anyone could build such a large aquarium in their house. Turning, he notices movement in the corner of his eye, but it's gone when he tries to see something in the dark water. It must have been a fish, he thinks. That’s when he realizes that the dimensions are too large for an aquarium; the house must be built next to a large body of water, and this room has a direct view of it.
Hank is about to leave when the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, he feels he is being watched. His eyes scan the room for cameras, but there aren't any. Hank shakes his head, it must be the alcohol, his nap in the car must have been too short to clear the alcohol from last night.
As he takes one last look out the big window, his heart stops. A man is staring at him from outside—a man with a fish tail.
Hank tells himself that he should definitely stop drinking if he starts seeing mystical creatures. Mermaids—merman? he wonders—don't exist. Or do they?
Connor has always been too curious for his own good. His brothers keep telling him that sooner or later he'll get into real trouble. But he doesn't care. He loves to watch people, and this structure that the humans had built to observe underwater life is perfect for that.
The usual humans hadn't shown up for days after Connor had watched them fight, so he became curious when a new human suddenly appeared.
He had never been this close to the building, but something draws Connor to this big, sturdy man. He had never seen such a sad-looking human before. Sad and lost—and Connor wants nothing more than to see him close up, to make him happy. When he thinks the human is busy with something else and obviously distracted, Connor swims closer to the glass when the human suddenly turns around again.
They stare at each other. Connor studies the human very closely, taking in every detail of his face and body, while Hank obviously can't believe his eyes and doubts his sanity.
"Hank?" Ben's voice booms from the hallway, interrupting the moment.
"In here!" He turns to ask Ben if he's seeing what he's seeing.
But when he turns back to the window, there is nothing there but the dark water.
"Stop drinking, Hank," Ben advises, patting him on the shoulder.
"Yeah," Hank huffs. With one last look into the darkness, he was sure he saw glittering blue scales hiding behind a rock.
Bloody alcohol.
(Right?)

Very random comic I sketched, sorry if it's a bit all over the place. 😅
It was very very rough so some panels I had to fix on my tablet later though. Sorry for the mixed languages, I could not figure out some words in English so i kept it in Japanese 😭
Also thank you for the warm comments and welcome in my previous HankCon post! I was so grateful 🙏
